“Brittny is great! Digby felt right at home and he loved playing with her kids and their dog Benji for hours and hours in their huge yard! She sent great happy photos over the weekend, and is easy to work with around pick up and drop off. We are so happy we found this loving family.”
“Monica was great! I was so nervous since this would’ve been the first time I ever leave my dog for more than a day. I felt comfortable with her boarding my dog since our first initial conversation! From the moment I dropped him off till the day I picked him up I was completely at ease. Throughout my dogs stay she kept me well informed and sent me plenty of photos! I can tell he was having tons of fun which kept me worry free. I will definitely book Monica again!!”
“Melissa did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Melo. I went away for the weekend and was able to book with her a week before. She introduced my dog to her other animals for the first time and I think he was so happy to have other furry friends for the weekend. Melissa was super clear and communicative throughout. I loved seeing the photos and videos every few hours so I always felt like melo was in good hands. She also had a print out award and treat for Melo after his stay which was so sweet. Thanks again Melissa for watching Melo :)”
“A very honest review: Celeste is absolutely wonderful. I am military and I had to leave on a mission overseas last minute, and she accommodated my needs and my dog’s needs for an extended stay. I will definitely use her services again, she’s a wonderful pet sitter, she’s very communicative and sent me pictures of my dog and an update daily while I was overseas. Her and her family all love pets and are very caring, this shows as my dog gets very excited to see her, her family, and her pets. She treated my dog as if it was her own.”
“I had such a great experience with Lieb. He took amazing care of my dog and went above and beyond to keep me updated. I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which really helped me feel at ease knowing she was safe, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again! Highly recommend.”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“Mickey was great! His entire household was very welcoming and he understood our senior dog’s needs. He was great at keeping us up to date with pictures and texts and made sure Duke was comfortable. Highly recommend!!”
“This was the first time we used Rover and Jennifer. Our experience with both was great. Jennifer was so caring and Judge had a great time while there. We would definitely use her again and recommend her as well.”
“Priscilla is absolutely amazing! I’m so grateful she was free to watch my dog for three nights while we were away. She’s responsive and communicative — and Watson may love her more than he loves me based on the pictures she sent! 😂 I also give her a lot of credit because she watched him during one of the absolute coldest weeks we’ve had in a while and she still braved the arctic temperatures to make sure he got a ton of walks. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“It was such a pleasure leaving raiden my basenji with Sridevi for the past 7 days. I would definitely recommend if she is available. They sent pictures and updates everyday and it was a pleasure. They are caring and loving family. Thank you so much for taking care of raiden.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Joannie. Our dog Gemma came from her stay relaxed and happy. Joannie was very kind, responsive and professional. Her love and understanding of dogs is very evident. Gemma looks forward to her next stay with Joannie and we look forward to working with her again too.”
“Cathy is the absolute Best! My puppy is a very picky eater and Cathy goes out of her way to make sure she eats! I swear my dog was smiling when I picked her up. Best sitter ever! Let's not forget all the pic updates we get ❤️Thank you Cathy!”
“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”
“Lisa was so loving and caring to Jupi during his stay. She made sure he was never alone and took the extra step to make sure he ate his food given he recently has started requiring add-ons to his regular dry food. She regularly sent me pictures and was always very responsive. Thank you for taking care of Jupi, we will definitely bring him back.”
“Lola enjoyed another stay with Aeli while we had to be out of town. The drop off and pick up is always smooth. Aeli provides us with daily photos of Lola enjoying her walks, play and relax time at her house. We have been so very happy with the experience and know that Lola has an amazing place to stay when we need to be out of town. We will definitely book again when we need. Thank you Aeli!!!!”
“We had such a great experience with Juan. This was our first time leaving Teddy with them and Juan made us feel very comfortable. He took great care of Teddy and sent us pictures and updates which we really appreciated while we were away. It was so reassuring to see that Teddy was doing well and being well cared for. We’re very thankful to Juan and would absolutely feel comfortable leaving Teddy with them again.”
“Elizabeth & Oleg were great! I was preoccupied with moving during Milo's stay, so I was glad that he was in great hands and I didn't have to check on him. I got tons of pictures of Milo. He was able to play in their big fenced in yard, play with the kids and even made friends with their hamster. it's nice to know I have an awesome sitter for my German Shepherd Dog. Milo enjoyed his stay. I would recommend Elizabeth and Oleg to anyone looking for nice family and home with fenced in yard. BTW BONUS house is right next to Glen Rock park/ Saddle River park”
“Sujanna is an amazing person clearly cut out for the job that she does. She took amazing care of Rebel and was very communicative with Rebel’s daily activities. She sent pictures and videos detailing day’s events and best of all, Rebel was clearly so happy with her. I will not look elsewhere if I need a sitter again. Thank you so much Sujanna.”
“WOW. This is my first time with Brittany. Brittany is amazing. Brittany devoted so much time to Drew. Although Brittany has a fenced in yard, she took our dog on two walks each day. They went to the park. They had movie night together. Brittany is a rare find. When I picked my dog up, you could see how much HE enjoyed staying with Brittany—his tail was wagging, he was smiling (yes, my dog smiles) and he was licking Brittany affectionately as we were saying goodbye. I’ve had a number of other dog sitters, but Brittany just goes the extra mile. Again, she’s incredible and puts all our other sitters to shame. We are definitely spoiled and will use Brittany again anytime we need a sitter.”

Brittny is great! Digby felt right at home and he loved playing with her kids and their dog Benji for hours and hours in their huge yard! She sent great happy photos over the weekend, and is easy to work with around pick up and drop off. We are so happy we found this loving family.
We had a very positive experience from start to finish, beginning with scheduling and completing the meet and greet, as well as the smooth drop-off and pick-up process. Lucy truly enjoyed her stay with Kimberly and Tom, and she came back happy and clearly well cared for. We will definitely return for our future boarding needs. Thank you for making the entire process so pleasant!
Celeste is AMAZING!! Do not hesitate for a moment to leave your pet with her and her family. She was wonderful with our puppy and sent us pictures and videos! He was treaded like part of the family in her home. He came home happy and well cared for. I will 100% be using Celeste again to care for Hank!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mahwah on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 13,111 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mahwah. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Mahwah sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Mahwah landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mahwah home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Mahwah.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Mahwah sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
